Abstract EN

Banana is one of the most promising horticultural crops in Sudan as a pioneering crop capable of entering international markets.

This study aimed to measure the competitiveness and comparative advantage of banana production and measure the economic protection criteria for bananas in Sennar State.

The study used the Policy Analysis Matrix to measure the competitiveness of bananas and the results of the study showed that the domestic resource cost coefficient for banana production is 0.4, which is a criterion for comparative advantage, and because its value is less than the “one integer number”.

This means that Sennar has a comparative advantage in banana production.

Less than the correct one.

This means that the private prices of the outputs are less than the border prices and explains the existence of taxes on the commodity.

While the nominal coefficient of the inputs was 0.6, which is less than the “one integer number”, which may indicate that the commodity system enjoys government support for the inputs, an estimated subsidy is up to 40%, and the protection coefficient reached The effective banana is about 0.9, which is less than the “one integer number”, which indicates the existence of taxes.

The study recommends expanding the cultivation of bananas In Sennar State, the study also recommends reconsidering and developing plans to activate the government support policy to provide protection for the product, including raising the taxes borne by producers, in order to improve the competitiveness of Sudanese bananas in global markets.
